I hop onto Rug (my pet bear) and help Yakota up as well.
"Do you have everything?"
She looks at me with her beautiful green eyes and says excitedly "Yes!"
"Alrighty, Rug, mush!" In an instant my Grizzly sprints forward and we are off into the tall pines of Elk Forest. The sweet smell of sap ran through the air for it was spring, and birds were pecking away for the fresh spruce buffet. As we are galloping ahead we see an Elder Elk feasting on the new bushes. All I see is the beautiful rack and all I hear is the bittersweet honk of the Elk. Rug begins to growl but stops when the Elk stamps its massive hooves. We walk by respectively and the Elk returns to his feast of fresh shrubbery.
"Don't you wish we could ride an Elk? Or a Reindeer?" Yatoka asks.
Rug growls annoyedly and I say, " I would prefer a Grizzly over any other animal." I say proudly. Rug gives a triumphant grunt as I finish. As it begins to get dark we set up our tent and curl up in a sleeping bag. Rug goes off to find some food.
"Finally, we can share the same tent." I say as I kiss Yakota on the forehead. We drift to sleep to the sound of crickets. Suddenly we wake to the sound of a Fire-Stick. The White Men were here
